Abstract

In their Comment, Greer et al (i) put us in charge of a pretended wrong claim, which we never made in Phys.~Rev.~B {\bf 78}, 115315 (2008), where we criticized a method (DG)proposed by two of them, (ii) incorrectly claim that the DG method can reproduce the conductance quantum g0g_0, but (iii) to deduce g0g_0 for a toy model, they carry out calculations within the standard Landauer method, which has nothing to do with the DG's. We present results for their model obtained within the DG method, which demonstrate that the DG method fails as lamentably as in the examples we presented in our earlier work. We also analyze the physical reasons why the DG method fails.
